Judging from Miss Six's expression, she must be in a good mood. Mei'er and the other three breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Xiao Keren glanced thoughtfully as he passed by them.
After walking out of Yicaiyuan, Xiao Keren's face darkened. He could see that Xiao Mingzhu was testing him, and he was testing her.
Could it be that Xiao Mingzhu changed just because Xuan Bao returned home? Xiao Keren was puzzled.
Since I can't think of it, I just don't think about it. Anyway, it will become clear when the time comes. Xiao Keren walked with a smile on his lips. Xuan Bao's words were like enlightenment, simple but very clear.
Although she comforted her third and second brothers, Xuan Bao was not as relaxed as she appeared. Fortunately, she had an invisible strategist.
Looking for an excuse to go back to the room to take a nap, Xuan Bao ran into the space to discuss with the veteran master. The master and apprentice discussed for a long time and finally came up with a countermeasure. Judging from the situation, the second room had many tricks. The most important thing right now was to ensure the safety of everyone in the main room.
Also keep an eye on Xiao Mingzhu.
Xiao Mingzhu is like a troublemaker. On the surface, everything has nothing to do with her, but in fact, there are traces of her everywhere. Even the experienced Taoist master thinks there is something weird about her, but he can't see what is wrong with her.
Xuan Bao came out of the space, and the little doll jumped off the bed and sat down at the table. She held her cheek and fell into deep thought.
After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and Dongxue came in without disturbing Xuan Bao. He just tiptoed to put a cloak on her and served her fruit tea.
After pondering for a long time, Xuan Bao came back to his senses and felt the warmth on his body. Then he saw that the fruit tea in front of him was still steaming. He looked up and saw Dong Xue sitting next to him doing needlework.
"Winter snow."
"Miss Qi, take a few sips of fruit tea to warm yourself up." Dongxue put down the sewing in her hand and walked over, "Now that you have two young masters to help, you should worry less."
Xuan Bao smiled while drinking fruit tea: "It's not like you don't know. This matter is not that simple. It's really hard for me not to worry about it."
"I know you are very capable." Dongxue looked at Xuan Bao with some distress, "But you have to take care of yourself."
"Okay." Xuan Bao readily agreed and then changed the topic, "Dongxue, let me keep an eye on you to see when Xiao Youduo will return home."
"Miss Seventh wants to meet the second-in-law, the eldest son?" Dongxue frowned, "It's best not to meet him. There will be no friendship, but there will be hatred."
Xuan Bao chuckled and said, "We don't have much friendship, but maybe we can get something out of him."
"The seventh lady underestimates him too much. He is no better than the young master of the second wife."
"Do you also think Xiao Youduo is better than Xiao Youfeng?"
"I don't know how many times better. The two of them are basically one in the sky and one on the ground." Dongxue shook her head, "But the second master and the second lady seem to particularly dote on the young master."
"The couple dotes on Xiao Youfeng, but they don't treat Xiao Youduo well, right?"
"How should I put it? They are also good to the eldest young master, but I see that the two of them are alienated from the eldest son and not close to him."
"Where did you get the news?"
"Do you still need to ask about this? Everyone in the mansion knows about it, and the news came from the mouths of the servants in Xikuoyuan."
Xuan Bao was really surprised by this answer. It seemed that he was not sensitive, it was all out there. Although he didn't know the root cause, Xiao Youduo just wasn't welcome.
"Dongxue, think about it, there are only a few people in the second room, who do you think is the most suitable person for me to talk to?"
"Miss Mingshan has a good temper, you can find her."
"Sister Mingshan and I were able to chat for a few words, but I guess she is the one who doesn't know anything."
"How about looking for Miss Minghu?"
"She gets angry when she sees me. We don't like each other. As for Xiao Youfeng, forget it."
After thinking about it carefully, Dongxue had to say: "The only candidate left is Mr. Youduo. However, even if we meet, Miss Seven will probably be in vain."
"Why?"
"The Marquis once praised Young Master Youduo, and several young gentlemen once said that he was very smart."
"Such a capable person is not popular, but the one who is favored is the one who is favored." Xuan Bao felt that the second room was really interesting, "Hearing what you said, I want to meet Xiao Youduo and have a chat with him."
"Miss Seventh..."
"No need to say more, it's just a meeting. Besides, we are cousins, so it's no big deal to meet and chat for a few words."
Dongxue looked back and thought about it. Besides, Miss Qi is so young, there is nothing wrong with her.
"My slave, let me keep an eye on you. It will be the 15th day of the lunar month in a few days. The academy has a bath on the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month. Master Youduo should be back home."
Xuan Bao smiled and nodded. There were too many mysteries in the second room. It was a mess, so we started from the outside. Xiao Youduo was the outside. Seeing that Xiao Liao and Fang Rongru obviously had problems with him, they used him as a breakthrough.
In the next few days, Xuan Bao didn't go to Xuan Bao's place, and just took the time to practice in Lingyun Garden. After all, she had just lost half of her merits, and the nagging of the experienced master could make her little ears calluses.
Although Xuan Bao didn't go out, his second brother Xiao Kexiao and his third brother Xiao Keren were not idle. One would come over from time to time in an upright manner, while the other would sneak in secretly at night.
Occasionally, the three of them would close the door to see what was being discussed. It seemed like everything was calm in the Hou Mansion, but in fact, there were turbulent waves underneath.
"Seventh sister." Xiao Kexiao shouted and rushed straight into Lingyun Garden.
"Second Young Master, wait for me, wait for me." Awang chased after Xiao Kexiao, "Be careful, don't fall."
In the past, Xiao Kexiao had a sad face and frowned, asking Awang to help him walk, and even took a few steps to catch his breath. Now the second son is in good health, smiles more, and is cheerful. Even his temperament is different.
He became more and more lively, and everyone said that he was led astray by Miss Seven.
When something like this happened to Xiao Kexiao, who barged in and rushed in, the people in Lingyunyuan were no longer surprised. They were used to it.
Xia Yu stepped forward to stop Xiao Kexiao: "Second Young Master, slow down, slow down, Miss Seven is not inside."
"Where did Xuan Bao go?" Xiao Kexiao was not angry.
Dongxue and Xia Yu are no better than ordinary maids. Xiao Kexiao knows their status in Xuan Bao's heart, and they treat her just like Awang treats him.
"Miss Seventh has gone to change. You go first and sit down in the hall to have a rest. Your servant will serve you tea."
"Okay." Xiao Kexiao immediately slowed down.
Awang, who was following the second young master, gave Xia Yu a thumbs up. The little maid was really smart. A few words were much more useful than chasing the talker all the way.
Sitting in the hall, after half a cup of tea, Xuan Bao walked in with Dong Xue.
"Seventh sister." Xiao Kexiao smiled with excitement in her voice.
Although there was something he couldn't wait to share with Xuan Bao, Xiao Kexiao was still quite cautious. He glanced at the door out of habit.
